I hadn't heard about this until I saw the departure listed on steam central after watching the tire changing video post today. As far as I know this is the first time a QJ has been out since the flood relief trains in 2008. "The Iowa Interstate Railroad, LTD in conjunction with volunteer Fire Departments in Earlham, Anita and Atlantic, Iowa will be offering train rides pulled by Iowa Interstate’s QJ Steam Locomotive 7081 on July 24 & 25 as a fundraiser for the Fire Departments. Trips will leave Earlham on Saturday July 24 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. for a trip to Stuart, Iowa and return. Contact Jamie Royster at 515-971-3901 for ticket information. On Sunday July 25, trips will leave Atlantic, Iowa at 9:00 a.m., 12 noon and 3:00 p.m for a trip to Anita and return and will leave Anita at 10:10 a.m. 1:10 p.m. and 4:05 p.m for trips to Atlantic and return. Seating is limited. First two trips from Atlantic and Anita are sold out but seats remain for the 3:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m departures. Contact Anita Fire Department at 712-762-3308 and Atlantic Fire Department at 712-243-2146 for ticket information." |
